He's right, Houston isn't as clean as Dallas but... not much to do? Are you kidding me? Lol. I'm not even joking when I say there's a ton of things you can do in Houston.

[Smook A.]

In June he said "I Love Houston"

Chandler talks way too much for a 4th string star.

[Leroy Jetson]

I went to visit downtown Houston, figured must be something happening in the center of one of the nations largest cities. After 5 PM it was nothing but Me, My Wife and the bums. And they don't ask for a dollar, Houston bums ask for five dollars, unreal. Worst big city in America, Austin owns Houston.

[L.Kizzle]

Fck you Parsons.

He just don't know the places to go. You go Midtown for entertainment not downtown.

Houston is a ****ing dump. People go to Chilis to party.

Omg, I actually agree with one of your posts. :applause:

.....Dude people in different cities have parties at Chili's too :roll:

In fact, one of my college buddies who's living in Phoenix just recently had his birthday at chili's. What a lame reason to say why you think Houston sucks. I honestly think the only reason why you hate it so much is because Harden plays there.

What a lie. Never in my life has anyone in Houston come up to me and ask me for 5 dollars. It's usually a "Hey buddy can I get a dollar" or "Hey man can I get some change like maybe a couple quarters". Your whole story is probably bullshit.

[L.Kizzle]

Fck you. Come to Houston and say that shit.

[boozehound]

houston has a way better cultural scene in my opinion. They are both dirty, they are top 5 cities in size. Honestly though, I though dallas was one of the worst cities I had been to (in terms of accessibility, interesting people, etc.). and its not like I visited for a weekend. I lived halfway between these two cities for a decade.

[IncarceratedBob]

You know the saying "I spent a week there one night", that was first said about Houston. An absolute shithole full of low class people

[oarabbus]

Well outside of Africa every places sucks if youre black. :lol


Uhh... I'm pretty sure Africa isn't a paradise even if you are black :oldlol:

Anyway, those northern Euro countries don't hold a candle to the US. We're just the god damn best.

Go visit those 3 countries. Their lifestyle and country is far superior to that of Americans.

[outbreak]

Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland all rank above America

As does Australia, New Zealand, Canada and England.

Seriously America is like a hot girl in high school who is a totally pyscho bitch with a bunch of issues. You still want to go visit but you can't do it long term without too much baggage and bullshit.

[Pointguard]

You're sound like one of those uppity inmates... seven days in the solitary is equal to one night in Houston. Now that's the comparisons of all comparisons.

[KingBeasley08]

Been there and more. It's nice in the sense that you can be lazy as hell and live a nice life but it's very homogeneous and boring.

Sweden is for Swedes, Norway for Norwegians, etc..

America is full of all people :cheers:

As for the person who said Australia and England, those got a Muslim problem. Would never put them above the USA. Also politically correct to an alarming degree

If you are a successful person in the USA, then you live the best life possible. Of course, if you are lazy and barely work, life wont be easy and the Scandinavian countries are a better fit

[KingBeasley08]

Lol really? America blows compared to many other first world nations. America is pure marketing hype.
If you are living in the hood, sure. But if you are successful, USA >>>

Cheep and excellent standard of living. Take it from a guy who has lived all over the world

:biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

Australia is pretty low down on the PC list to the point that the USA normally runs stories about how un PC some of our tv segments/ads are. Not sure where your pulling that from. Also what is a muslim problem? As far as I know we don't have that large of a muslim population here. I'd say we have far more indians/sri lankans/pakistanis/chinese immigrants in my area. Not that it's ever been an issue? How can you say America is full of all people then say England and Australia have a muslim problem :facepalm

[Artillery]

Your whole country is a toilet :D

Hey, don't lump the other states in with Texas. Just because that state's a shithole doesn't mean the rest of the country is.

[Kblaze8855]

Im sure many places in the world were "nicer" than Rome in its prime but that era...is the era of Rome.

England had its time. This is ours. History will look back on this as our era.

We are the greatest...even if not the "best" in measurable ways.

And Houston ive been told is just too massive to really even grasp. Ive been through downtown...I didnt see much. But it isnt a downtown kinda city.

Houston is like 4-5 busy areas spread miles apart.

More less what I was originally saying before someone told me to go live in Scandinavia and see. Finland has a population of 5 million people. NYC has more people just for the sake of comparison. Comparing the USA as a whole to most countries will make it look poor because of the diversity of the country. There are areas with very high standards of living and areas that are the exact opposite.

But what you said is true. USA is the only "great" country in the world atm. Maybe China can join the rank in the next 50 to 60 years but we'll see

I'm going off what posters from those two countries have been saying in the OTC. A lot of pandering to Muslims (not the moderate kind) from what they say

[MiseryCityTexas]

Only thing to do out in Houston is the women. Even the club scene fell off in Houston. The nightlife in Houston was underrated as shit in the late 90s/early to mid 2000s, and the nightlife was what used to draw the biggest stars in Houston back in the day, but now even that has turned into shit.

[BigMacAttack]

USA is in decline. China just overtook it for biggest economy.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Chandler talks way too much for a 4th string star.


lol both him and Donatas Motiejunas talk waaay too much shit considering they're just some role players. I remember when Parsons, Marcus Morris, and D-Mo were talking mad shit about established NBA veterans during the Rockets summer rookie media day and draft interview.:biggums:

[BigMacAttack]

In England but certainly not Australia. If anything the opposite is true for Australia(which is also not a good thing).

I can see you are making informed comments though, 'Murrica!

[UK2K]

I lived in Houston three years before moving back north to Indianapolis and I have to say, Houston was a fun place to live.

Always beach on weekends, pick up games every Saturday morning, back room poker every Friday night. I like Indianapolis more because its more, 'close knit, than a city the size of Housto, but Houston is pretty sweet.

The keyword here folks is "WAS". Houston started going downhill ever since rapper Pimp-C died and that lesbian mayor took over the city.

[Joyner82reload]

As far as a place to visit, Dallas has jack shit to do. The Mavs and the Aquarium are about as good as it gets. There is 1 decent mall, North Park, and the majority of the DFW attractions aren't even in Dallas. Arlington is the place for fun with the family(Six Flags, Waterpark, Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, etc) and FT Worth is the place for the bars.

[SexSymbol]

Houston and New York in general are very dirty, terrible cities with nothing for a sensible person to do.

It's not.
Many countries are much more beautiful and have significantly higher level of economical stability for an average family

[Milbuck]

Lived in Houston for about 8 years, it's really nothing special at all. Quite awful, actually. Smells, shitty nightlife, filled with alcoholics and drug addicts. It's really the place to go if you have zero long term goals and don't shower regularly.

This. Our weather can be shit for sure, but as a city there's plenty to do if you know where. Been here practically all my life and traveled some, mediocre nightlife compared to a few years ago.

Pretty sure that in one square mile in NYC not only will there be more things to do than the entirety of Lithuania the quality of artmenship would be light years better as well. Only a complete Hermit would have nothing to do in NYC.

there's a reason why so many people are moving to Houston and fleeing California.

Because Texas is cheap as **** and there's less tax?

If you make a decent living there's no comparison to LA and Texas.

SoCal > most places on earth, in my opinion. It's all about the weather.

Hmm not really. as someone who's been to nearly a dozen countries across 3 continents, you clearly haven't spent enough time exploring the incredible nature of the US. Hawaii is breathtaking and Alaska is supposed to be as well, but even excluding those the mainland is incredible. National parks here are amazing.


US = (current) GOAT

[Balla_Status]

Houston isn't like other cities...shit is just so spread out and unless you live in that neighborhood where shit is happening, it's not that great. There's just no community...don't know how to put it. The city I live in, I can walk to the dry cleaners, bars, dentist, grocery store, etc. and not feel like I'm going to get run over by shitty drivers or run into sketchy people.

Houston is the opposite of that but it's great they finally got uber rolling there as it's desperately needed in a city like Houston.

Dallas and Houston are a lot alike but I'd choose living in Houston. Too many 30k millionaire douche bags in Dallas.

But **** living in either of those places regardless...much better places to live out there. Houston and Dallas and a lot of America is just so basic.

Australia is great but the bubble is going to burst here at some point. Don't have a muslim problem...they really aren't even multicultural. 85% white and 14% asian and 1% pacific islander. Living here is better than living in America though...by far.

USA taxes foreign income too...that's ****ed.

Well yeah, California is a state with nearly 40 million people and Houston is a city with ~2 million people.

Yeah but I can walk off my back deck, and watch football on my phone, while pissing off into the yard, while clumsily shooting beer cans set up down yonder with my mini14.

Merica.

[UK2K]

Well yeah, California is a state with nearly 40 million people and Houston is a city with ~2 million people.

Because nobody lives IN the city...

Harris County, with about 4.3 million residents, remains the nation's third-largest county, and the Houston metro area, with 6.3 million residents, maintains its ranking as the fifth- largest, one place behind Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington.

And by the way, people are leaving California because of high taxes, and less job opportunities...

Thursday's report comes just days after a Federal Reserve Bank study found that Texas has led the nation in creating jobs since 2000 and that more than half of the new positions garnered salaries in the top half of the pay scale.

Fort Bend County was listed as the nation's ninth-fastest growing county, with a 4.2 percent population increase.

"Metro areas tend to grow no matter what their size, but the reason for job growth in Houston has three letters - O-I-L," Gilmer said, adding that in the past decade the Houston area has added about 420,000 jobs.

"That's how many jobs are in Tulsa, Okla.," he noted.

[STATUTORY]

What a lie. Never in my life has anyone in Houston come up to me and ask me for 5 dollars. It's usually a "Hey buddy can I get a dollar" or "Hey man can I get some change like maybe a couple quarters". Your whole story is probably bullshit.

so you admit theres nothing to do downtown after dark and there are tons of hobos there?

:roll: :roll: :roll: Houston is a complete shit city, a bastard child of urban sprawl and lack of civic planning. the only people who find it tolerable are the third world immigrants that flock to it beause of job availibity and its better than their home country

Even that lane is closing it's doors now since Southwest Wholesale distribution closed it's doors. These days you have to be just as good a underground rapper as Z-ro, K-Rino, and Doughbeezy just to get a toenail through the door, and even then there's still no guarantee that you'll make it.

Midtown at night always went down, even back in 2006 till now. People were just sleeping on that side of Houston.

[TOUCH MY BODY]

I lived in Denmark for six months because of my job. Everyone there is super nice and always happy. Great food, especially the Danish meatballs called Frikadeller. Freaking addictive. Just about zero crime it seemed like. I don't even think anyone locks their doors to their homes during the day or night. If I were ever to leave LA, Denmark would be high on my list of places to live.
